The batteries fuelled by radio‐isotopes have represented a significant technological solution
for planetary science and exploration missions since the beginning of the space era. Now …

Betavoltaic devices are suitable for delivering low-power over periods of years. Typically,
their power density is on the order of nano to micro-Watts per cubic centimeter. In this work …

Nuclear batteries are devices that provide electrical power by converting the energy of
radioactive decays. Their full operational potential depends on the actual limits set by the …

In this work, we present a demonstration of a high-aspect ratio, three-dimensionally
structured betavoltaic device. High-aspect ratio silicon PIN diodes were used as the …

Nuclear batteries are a class of power sources that harvest energy from decaying
radioactive isotopes to generate electricity for powering sensors and electronics. They are …

In this thesis, the conversion of the kinetic energy of beta particles emitted from a radioactive
isotope to electricity is investigated by using the direct and indirect conversion methods. In …

An electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process forms a radio luminescent phosphor and
radioisotope composite layer on a conductive surface of a substrate. In the composite layer …

The present invention generally relates a process for forming radioluminescent surfaces.
More particularly, embodiments of the present invention utilize an electrophoretic deposition …
